The Saints continue training camp this afternoon in Metairie as they will hold an open practice to the public at the team’s training facility, starting at 3:30 PM. The first big roster cut will take place after Friday night’s preseason home game against Pittsburgh and wide receiver Brandon Coleman is fighting for a job. Coleman led the Saints in receptions with six catches for 47 yards on Saturday night against Houston, but had a chance to make several big plays and couldn’t hang on to the football. Payton says Coleman has had a “pedestrian like” camp…
cut 18 (17) “…seen better”
The Saints will also hold open practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Both will start at 9:30 AM.

The LSU Tigers begin the season ranked fifth in the preseason AP Top 25. Alabama is number one, followed by Clemson, Oklahoma and Florida State. Six SEC teams made the poll. And if the season started today, Coach Les Miles says his starting offensive line would look like this…KJ Malone and Toby Weathersby are the starting tackles, Will Clapp and Josh Boutte (Boo-tee) will start at guard and Ethan Pocic is your starting center.

At Louisiana Tech’s scrimmage, Union parish fullback Bobby Holly had 61 yards on seven carries. Offensive lineman O’shea Dugas injured his leg, but it’s NOT considered serious.
